Wow ! Sorry but i think we are one week behind but the programme (Total Rugby)they had on today on Foxtel took me by surprise .
Any rugby fan would have love Total Rugby . To watch the South Americans RWC qualifying tournaments and seeing those guys enjoying their rugby make me happy .

The Sri Lankans school 1st XV games which had crowds of 10,000 was great . It was like watching soccer in South America .

Also the Hong Kong scheme to get the kids of the streets and into the rugby field which is sponsor by Jackie Chan .

The RWC qualify game between Groatia and Serbia was also a highlight .

This programme is a must to watch for all rugby fans and those hate rugby .

This is whats on Total Rugby next week . Its a IRB programme made for everyone who loves rugby .

CURRIE CUP SEMI-FINALS
All the build-up to the Currie Cup semi-final between the Bulls and the Lions, plus colour from Loftus as Blue Bulls fans gather to cheer on the title favourites.

NEWS
Highlights of the NPC semi-finals in New Zealand, plus the Guinness Premiership and Celtic League in the UK.

STADE FRANCAIS vs TOULOUSE
We film with Stade ahead of their league match with Toulouse which is breaking all records in France. A sell-out Stade de France makes this the biggest crowd for a domestic sports event ever in France, beating attendances for any French club football mark. It should also be the biggest crowd for a domestic Rugby match ever, anywhere in the world.

AUSTRALIAN INDIGENOUS TEAM
A feature on the indigenous team put together for Australia's Under 16 Championships last month. Includes material with Lloyd McDermott and Glen Ella, two prominent former Wallabies who led the way for players from Australia's indigenous communities.

CAULIFLOWER EARS
A doctor in Scotland claims to have found a way to prevent cauliflower ears, the bane of every second-row forward. We travelled north for a light-hearted investigation into his claims, and tracked down Scottish star Scott Murray to see what a prominent player who suffers from the syndrome thinks of it.

CHILEAN RUGBY
We filmed Chile's crucial Rugby World Cup qualifier against Paraguay in Santiago. With Paraguay having already beaten the other member of their qualifying group, Brazil, they could claim their place in the next round by beating their hosts. Historically the Paraguayans have struggled against Chile, but the team was confident after winning the CONSUR B title the previous week..

 

[Mal Meninga]

Anyone heard of Scott Morgan who was part of the Lloyd Mcdermott talent squad a season or 2 ago? Sensational talent, can't believe he hasn't catched on somewhere.

 

[Polynesian Warrior]

So don't forget Total Rugby is on at 6.30 pm eastern time in Australia on Foxs Sports .

 

[Polynesian Warrior]

Also on tonight is the biggest ever crowd to a club league game (league or union) ever in the world .

STADE FRANCAIS vs TOULOUSE
We film with Stade ahead of their league match with Toulouse which is breaking all records in France. A sell-out Stade de France makes this the biggest crowd for a domestic sports event ever in France, beating attendances for any French club football mark. It should also be the biggest crowd for a domestic Rugby match ever, anywhere in the world.

 

[Jackal Dog]

I watch this show occasionally but I find it focuses on too much NH crap I honestly couldn't care about the London Wasps and Toulouse!
